We asked the question following council’s proposal of a Wheel In Wheel Out waste service for residents and its annual fee.
Of those who responded, 98 per cent said they would not pay someone to wheel their bins in and out for them. Two per cent said they were unsure and nobody said they would take up the offer.
Council’s proposal would see residents wishing to opt in pay an annual service fee of $888 to have council staff collect, empty and return their bins without the need to place them kerbside each week.
Current exemptions from the fee for eligible elderly people or those with disability would remain.
The proposed Wheel In Wheel Out service fee is on public exhibition for comment until February 8.
